The test of any theory is whether or not it provides
answers to basic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think
evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the
universe. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion
masquerading as science. The following questions were distributed
to the 750-plus people who attended a Creation Science Evangelism debate
at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota, on January 9, 1993.
(The videotaped debate is #6 on my order form, $9.95., available from
the Creation Science Evangelism website) Questions added since
the debate are marked with an asterisk (*).

1. Where did the space for the universe come
from?

2. Where did matter come from?

3. Where did the laws of the universe come from
(gravity, inertia, etc.)?

4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?

5. Where did the energy come from to do all the
organizing?

6. When, where, why, and how did life come from
dead matter?

7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to
reproduce itself?

8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual
reproduction reproduce?

9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce
more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and
decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive
to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)

10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic
code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters
will never produce Chinese books.)

11. Is it possible that similarities in design
between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common
ancestor?

12. Natural selection only works with the genetic
information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would
you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must
have occurred if evolution were true?

13. When, where, why, and how did

a. Single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where
are the two and three-celled intermediates?)

15. Which evolved first (how, and how long,
did it work without the others)?

a. The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite,
the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the
body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines,
etc.)?

b. The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?

c. The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat,
or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs?

d. DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?

e. The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually
digest the cellulose?

f. The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the
plants?

g. The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to
move the bones?

h. The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?

i. The immune system or the need for it?

16. There are many thousands of examples of symbiosis
that defy an evolutionary explanation. Why must we teach students that
evolution is the only explanation for these relationships?

17. How would evolution explain mimicry? Did
the plants and animals develop mimicry by chance, by their intelligent
choice, or by design?

18. When, where, why, and how did man evolve
feelings? Love, mercy, guilt, etc. would never evolve in the theory
of evolution.

19. *How did photosynthesis evolve?

20. * How did thought evolve?

21. *How did flowering plants evolve, and from
what?

22. *What kind of evolutionist are you? Why are
you not one of the other eight or ten kinds?

23. What would you have said fifty years ago
if I told you I had a living coelacanth in my aquarium?

24. *Is there one clear prediction of macroevolution
that has proved true?

25. *What is so scientific about the idea of
hydrogen gas becoming human?

26. *Do you honestly believe that everything
came from nothing?

After you have answered the preceding questions,
please look carefully at your answers and thoughtfully consider the
following questions.

1. Are you sure your answers are reasonable,
right, and scientifically provable, or do you just believe that it may
have happened the way you have answered? (Do these answers reflect your
religion or your science?)

2. Do your answers show more or less faith than
the person who says, "God must have designed it"?

3. Is it possible that an unseen Creator designed
this universe? If God is excluded at the beginning of the discussion
by your definition of science, how could it be shown that He did create
the universe if He did?

4. Is it wise and fair to present the theory
of evolution to students as fact?

5. What is the end result of a belief in evolution
(lifestyle, society, attitude about others, eternal destiny, etc.)?

6. Do people accept evolution because of the
following factors?

a. It is all they have been taught.

b. They like the freedom from God (no moral absolutes,
etc.).

c. They are bound to support the theory for fear
of losing their job or status or grade point average.

d. They are too proud to admit they are wrong.

e. Evolution is the only philosophy that can be
used to justify their political agenda.

7. Should we continue to use outdated, disproved,
questionable, or inconclusive evidences to support the theory of evolution
because we don’t have a suitable substitute (Piltdown man, recapitulation,
archaeopteryx, Lucy, Java man, Neanderthal man, horse evolution, vestigial
organs, etc.)?

8. Should parents be allowed to require that
evolution not be taught as fact in their school system unless equal
time is given to other theories of origins (like divine creation)?

9. What are you risking if you are wrong? As
one of my debate opponents said, "Either there is a God or there is
not. Both possibilities are frightening."

10. Why are many evolutionists afraid of the
idea of creationism being presented in public schools? If we are
not supposed to teach religion in schools, then why not get evolution
out of the textbooks? It is just a religious worldview.

11. Aren’t you tired of faith in a system that
cannot be true? Wouldn’t it be great to know the God who
made you, and to accept His love and forgiveness?

12. Would you be interested, if I showed you
from the Bible, how to have your sins forgiven and how to know for sure
that you are going to Heaven? If so, call me.

CREATION VS EVOLUTION: TWO COMPETING THEORIES OF LAW AND GOVERNMENT

Creation

Evolution

Laws come from the creator

Laws come from man's majority opinion

Rights are "unalienable"

Rights are granted by government

Government is subordinate to the will of the people and
should be limited to the punishment of evildoers and defense.

Government should be all-powerful and superior to either
the individual or collective will of the people.

God is a sovereign and omnipotent being and he controls
the universe.

There is no God and the only influence on individuals is
random chance and survival of the fittest as part of Darwinian
evolution.

Based on Constitutional Republic

Based Democracy or oligarchy--Always degenerates eventually
into totalitarianism.

Government based on God's unchangeable laws

Government based on "polls" or the arbitrary whims of some
usually corrupt government ruler or bureaucrat.

Truth and right and wrong are absolute

There are absolutely no absolutes regarding right and wrong
(are you absolutely sure!)

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were constitutional
republicans and based their philosophies on creationism.

Karl Marx was a communist and based his philosophy on evolution.

All human beings are created to be equal by their creator.

Some races of humans are superior to others. Less
superior races must be eliminated (e.g. Hitler) because
only the best and fittest should rightfully survive (Darwinism).
